The Anti-Abortion Wedges Are Coming…

Two independent events have revealed the various incongruities that underlie the pro-abortion philosophy and forced pro-abortionists into a position where they must confront the humanity of the unborn child.

First, Nebraska passed a law (by an overwhelming majority, 44-5) that bans abortion after 20 weeks of gestation on the basis of fetal pain. This legislation recognizes a growing body of medical knowledge that not only reports on the capacity of the unborn to feel pain after 20 weeks (and, according to some, as early as 16 weeks), but also suggests that pain may be felt far more acutely in the unborn than in adults. Apparently, the child’s immature nervous system has not yet developed various coping mechanisms that may help it to diminish or better endure pain.

If you doubt the need for such a law, simply cut your finger off and then imagine the greatly exaggerated pain that is felt by the unborn as it is literally torn apart and evacuated — just because it has been labelled a biological inconvenience.
